Part I: Reading IDs  For each quote, write a complete paragraph (no bullet points!) in which you identify the Author (if known), identify the Title (if known), give an approximate date (try to get the right century) of when the reading was written, give an approximate place where the reading was written, describe what the reading is about, describe why the reading is important for the history of World Civilization (You MUST answer this last using a sentence beginning: “It is important because . . .”).  Quote 2: “Righteousness does not consist in whether you face towards the East or the West.  The righteous man is he who believes in God and the Last Day, in the angels and the Book and the prophets; who. . . gives away his wealth to kinsfolk, to orphans, to the destitute . . . who attends to his prayers . . . who is true to his promises . . . such are the true believers; such are the God-fearing.”

Part II:  Short Answer  Answer each short answer question in a complete paragraph using specific lecture information.  BE SPECIFIC in your answer—use as many names, dates, places, and specific examples as you can remember.  Lectures 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, and 22 all point to connections between different cultures, kingdoms, peoples, languages, or communities leading to lasting change. Of these lectures, choose three and describe how the connections between societies were important in the development of one of them.
